OUTLOOK: Ray is one of the fastest players on the team with a 4.35 time in the 40-yard dash and he should see plenty of action at wide receiver. Ray hauled in five grabs for 119 yards and a long of 50 in the three spring scrimmages and the Red-White Spring Game combined. He played wide receiver for the White team in the spring game. In the April 16 scrimmage, he had four catches for 69 yards and a long 39.

2009: Ray spent his redshirt season working with the scout team.

BEFORE ARKANSAS: He played several positions at East Gadsden High School in Havana, Fla., for Coach Scott Anderson. In 2008, Ray had 33 catches for 632 yards and six touchdowns. He also carried the ball four times for 15 yards and one touchdown. As a safety on defense, he recorded 19 tackles and he had 12 kickoff returns for 322 yards. He established season highs in receiving yards (127) and touchdown receptions (three) against Chiles High in the season-opener. He finished the year with three 100-yard receiving games (Chiles, Leon, Wakulla) during his only season as a wide receiver. In 2007, he garnered all-district and all-conference recognition as he finished the year with 21 catches for 475 yards and three touchdowns as a tight end and had 50 tackles, two sacks, two interceptions and two forced fumbles for the defense. He was rated as the No. 59 athlete in the country by Rivals. He also played basketball and was coached by Demetric Salters, who is the cousin of Arkansas wide receiver Carlton Salters. He selected Arkansas over LSU, Illinois, Mississippi State, Ole Miss and Kentucky.

PERSONAL: Born March 16, 1991, he is the son of Reginald and Glenda Ray. He is enrolled in the Fulbright College of Arts and Sciences.
